Out Fishing

[Artyczar]

Your moderator will be out for a couple weeks, at least, but will check in here and there to try to keep things afloat. Hannah will too. Everyone try to behave themselves.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery

We were stuffing our faces at a fast food joint, when my daughter realised she had swallowed the tooth meant for the Tooth Fairy. Trying to make light of it, I said, "you better watch it doesn't bite your bum on the way out." I thought it was funny, and laughed. That's when she began bawling. Just in time for Mummy's arrival. "What have you said to her?"

 

[E.J.H.]

When have we ever not behaved ourselves...wait... don't answer that...
Also from me best wishes, and speedy recovery!

 

[joe1It]

we will do the good, best regards, see you soon

 

[snoball]

You're expecting an awfully lot from us. But we'll try (actually, we are a very trying bunch). Hoping for the very best outcome for you.

 

[Trier]

Hoping you have good results and a speedy recovery.

I promise no fights until you get back.

Speak for yourself Trier. Have you never heard the adage, "While the cat's away......................."?

 

[Desforges]

We’ll save some cookies for you.

 

[snoball]

Cookies, heck! We'll save you a cold beer!

 

[ntl]

Take care!

I shoulda known that the minute I try to restrain myself some smarty girl would try to get me in trouble so she could run and tell !

Okay for you, Sno - me and the other guys will yell 'girls got cooties' the next time you go by !

 

[snoball]

And I'll just run my tongue out at you.

 

[E.J.H.]

Yes, this is escalating nicely...

 

[snoball]

Yes, this is escalating nicely...

You'd better call Arty and tell her to get back here post haste.

 

[16ga]

Just saw this. I might be late but best of luck.

 

[Artyczar]

Thanks 16ga! Doing much better!

 

[snoball]

OK, this is a month later. How are you doing now? I hope you are healing well.

 

[Artyczar]

Hi sno. Thanks for keeping track. I'm around. I am doing my 6-week post-op appointment today. I got set back a little because of a little infection. Nothing too bad. My healing is set back 2.5 weeks anyway because I take immunosuppressants, so I can't technically get back to work until the 8-9-week mark, but I have tried to do a little of this and that anyhow. Thank you for checking in on me!

 

[snoball]

Just take care of yourself and be careful not to overdo because set-backs are harder to overcome than the original ailment.

 

[Artyczar]

Thank you sno. I am being careful. It was just a stitch that wouldn't heal properly and now it's doing much better. I am going stir crazy though. I want to start working on a bigger painting, but I can't. If I feel like painting, I can only do little watercolors that are no bigger than 6 x 9 inches or so.

I'm watching a lot of dumb TV shows.
